For those of you who don't know:

The Bulldozer assault refers to the first day of the ground war. Saddam's forces dug a line of trenches along the Kuwait Saudi border. Instead of having US soldiers engage in the brutal close quarters combat associated with trench warfare, the Americans had tanks and infantry fighting vehicles pin the Iraqis down in the trenches and while they were taking cover, armored bulldozers drove up to the trenches and ploughed sand and dirt in them burying the defenders alive.

The Highway of Death refers to the disastrous retreat by the Iraqi Army from Kuwait City. A large convoy of Iraqi vehicles was stretched miles out of Kuwait. Coalition aircraft struck the vehicles in front and back of the convoy trapping the rest and for 2 days straight, combat aircraft bombed and strafed the remaining vehicles until there was nothing but burnt-out wrecks.

a lot of people say it was a war crime but there's a difference between a surrendering enemy and a retreating one. The point of a retreat is to regroup and fight at a more defensible position, so it was perfectly legal.

Although I can't help but draw parallels to the current conflict in Ukraine. Russians say that "this isn't a war between Russia and Ukraine, it's a war between Russian and the US".

Yeah, no. They're still using trench warfare in Ukraine, and I bet Apache gunship pilots were drooling watching footage of that stalled 40-mile convoy outside Kiev.

If you read the Bible, Donald Trump has characteristics God absolutely hates in a person and calls it an abomination to Him.

Donald Trump fits the kinda of character God hates, yet according to pew research most American professing Christians voted for Trump. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/08/30/most-white-americans-who-regularly-attend-worship-services-voted-for-trump-in-2020/

Psalms 10:3-7:

For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire; He blesses the greedy and renounces the LORD.

The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.

His ways are always prospering; Your judgments are far above, out of his sight; As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved; I shall never be in adversity.”

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.

Proverbs 6:16-19:

These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

* Donald Trump said years ago, "I never ask God for forgiveness"

This job coach picks favorites, made it very clear (explicitly) that he believes in individualism, but not in equality, and he is rampantly anti-feminism. Not to mention at this program I belong to, a LOT of job coaches are homophobic and overtly religious, and as many job coaches of the past said, the BCBA is a complete narcissistic tool who underpays his workers.

One of the clients apparently ordered food at the "wrong" location on one street, turns out it was supposed to be for another street. The job coach told him to "stop" saying I'm sorry and consistently tells him he is better than he actually acts, that he is "smart", that he is making up "excuses" (all the time) when he said he has a stutter problem; the guy made it clear it wasn't an excuse and I believe him 100%.

I want to leave this program and file a complaint against the program.

I read an post about someone sad their furry friend died and thought about my cat one day dying and I choked up. As a man I felt disturbingly weak and deep down I think I should be skinning my cat alive using it’s meat for sustenance and fur to make a hat for the winter that to me is what a man is- a pragmatic, strong, ruthless utilitarian. Perhaps I am flawed or just raised in a first world lifestyle that made me a weak shadow of my ancestors?

On one hand, Stalin was a Left-wing communist and Hitler a Right-wing Nazi. However, many of their policies were the same. Examples include putting people innocent people in internment camps, denying free elections, condemning capitalism and expansionist foreign policies.

That is assuming I don't work for the gym or for a college. Assuming I don't declare my gender, too.

apparently rainbows just trigger the heck out of some folks

Ellsworth, ME kindergarten open house, provides parents a look at the indoctrination their kids are facing by teacher Rhonda Ulichney. Her class is not a family, it’s not about being kind, it’s about colors and ABC’s. Parents are the family. Pull your kids now. pic.twitter.com/oFKwYuPNFA
